Election

I usually try to avoid politics but I thought I'd bring up how people act. Sometimes they say they're moderate, in the middle people when they hide their slant. It's obvious that they think they think a certain way because they have to keep telling me they think that way. "I see myself as a moderate." But do you act that way? People seem to have this projected view of themselves and their politics. So when the election came up yesterday I sat on the fence as best as I could. I nodded my head to both sides, never correcting the left or the right. I find it's easier to survive that way. But even I'm skewed in some aspects. I like to think I'm moderate but I lean toward extremes at the same time. Maybe this is what the false moderates felt when they were yakking my ear off about politics. I don't think politics has as much power as people think. I don't think the president can do as much as people say. I still try to understand their concerns though. So I'll stay on the fence for as long as I can.
